*Scratches head* wow... for a game that tells us a lot about how the whole mess started, and a bunch o' Wesker info (fanservice??? You tell me), it's really sad they're aparently not including it...

(I like the classics better, BTW, )

Why would Ark be in the game? He was a character in the side game.

He has nothing to do with the main REs.

RYAN!!! I'm AMAZED that you say that.

Remember, RE 0 mentions the Sheena Island incident (the incident Ark was involved in) on it's intro.

RE 0 is cannon, so...

And, keeping on-topic:

Billy Cohen NEEDS to appear!!! He's one of the most underused (and underatted) character in the series!!! *continues ranting like a fanboy*

Honestly I still rather that they never told us how the mess started if that was the best they could come up with.

EDIT: yeah thats going to start some aguments, sorry for getting off topic, we will argue RE 0 later.

Here is some more info from Capcom. It was on The Magic Box.

- Four chapters will be available, each chapter will have 2 playable characters

- Chapter 1 - BH1 Mansion - Jill and Chris

- Chapter 2 - BH2 RPD - Claire and Leon

- Chapter 3 - BH3 Racoon City - Jill and Carlos

- Chapter 4 - BH4 Village - Leon and Ada

- Additional characters can be unlocked by playing the game, such as Rebecca Chambers, Hunk
and Albert Wesker

- The gameplay will be similar to BH4, use the Wiimote to trigger the over-the-shoulder view, use
the nunchuk to fire

- All characters will have different weapons and melee attacks like in BH4, you can find additional
weapons in the stage

- Each character can only carry 2 weapons, such as Chris' pistol and shotgun, and Jill's pistol and grenade launcher

- The main game Scenario Mode will have in-game cutscenes, each chapter will have new contents which link to Umbrella's status

- There is an Arcade Mode which plays like the BH4 Mercenaries mini game

Actually we have that.

Thread just sunk a few topics, no problem though.

Can you still use a standard controller with the Wii? Don't get me wrong, I find the Wii-mote an interesting idea, but I've just been playing the PS2 and GameCube fot so long that I don't think I'd be able to adapt to the new control system right away.

By the way, I think we can expect Resident Evil 5 come next September. Going by the past, Resident Evil games have been known to come out six months after another game. And since Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles will serve as a prequel to Resident Evil 5 then my theory might be correct. Well, that may sound dumb but that's just a guess.

Yes, I think so. If the Wii has compatibility with the GC games it should have with it's controllers too.

A GCN controller for GCN games and there is a classic controller available separately, but if a game fully uses the Wii's features, you'll obviously have to use the Wiimote and Nunchuck addition.

As for the dates, I don't see RE5 coming next September, that's saying that UC will release in much less than a year, which I definitely do not see happening.

*Scratches head* I think the controller issue will depend on the game. For exaple, I don't see myself playing MK:Armageddon with the Wii-mote. Without a doubt, you have to use the classic GCN controller in order to play it.

Maybe it's going to be possible to change between controllers??? Dunno. Seems like a fine thing to me if they decide to do so.
